On the recordMarch 11, 1994
I rise today in support of the budget resolution as reported by the House Budget Committee. This budget is an important step in further reducing the Federal deficit. In fact, the budget will reduce the deficit an additional $53 billion from the fiscal year 1994 budget. This represents a 23 percent reduction of the deficit in one fiscal year. Much more remains to be done to cut unnecessary spending, and I look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle, as the appropriations process continues, to find other areas to trim federal spending. Mr. Chairman, I want to mention one other item. That is the importance of enacting a plan to bring health care costs under control, because under the current system the Federal deficit will rise in the out years due to uncontrolled health care spending. And so I also look forward to addressing the issue of health care costs with my colleagues and enacting meaningful reform.
